I have a problem with logs on emulator, but real device gives everything. – Janeyjangle

Yes I am having issue with emulator too. Seems like it is an issue with Android Studio and not Timber. – Buroker

Answer 1

Make sure you're using your app module's BuildConfig

if (com.my.app.BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
    Timber.plant(Timber.DebugTree())
}

I was using the wrong one

if (org.koin.android.BuildConfig.DEBUG) { // <- NOT MY CONFIG
    Timber.plant(Timber.DebugTree())
}

I have solved the issue by enabling Use libusb backend. Navigate to Android Studio -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Debugger -> then check Use libusb backend

Added this for future reference

You have to plant a timber debug tree by initializing Timber in the Application Class:

class MyApplication : Application() {
    
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
    
        if(BuildConfig.DEBUG){
            Timber.plant(Timber.DebugTree())
        }
    }
}

Add the MyApplication class to the AndroidManifest.xml like below:

<application
    android:name=".MyApplication">

    ...

</application>

Hi @Ad. Asaduzzaman, This was done in the project. The issue was due to Android Studio which has been fixed in new releases. – Buroker

@oyeraghib, Thanks for the info. Actually, that was missing in my old project. Hence I added it here so that no one can ignore it. – Episcopacy
